Solution
The correct option is B Production of commercial crops
The Indonesians were forced to produce commercial crops such as coffee, sugar, and spices, to be paid as tax to the Dutch. This regime was hard on the natives, as commercial farming created a shortage of food grains. This led to acute poverty and famines.
